Minimum Salary Level - Increase for Australian Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) - 1 August 2008

The MIA has today been advised that the Minimum Salary Level (MSL) for occupations nominated through the Employer Nomination Scheme will be increased from 1 August 2008, in line with the MSL increase for the Subclass 457 visa.

The standard MSL will increase to $43,440, and the MSL for ICT professionals will increase to $59, 477.

PLEASE NOTE: these increases will only apply to positions that are nominated under the ENS from 1 August 2008. Existing ENS visa holders, as well as employer nominations for positions lodged before 1 August 2008, will not be affected by the MSL increase.
